Fantastic views, great food, friendly staff and, although the area is 'industrial,' it felt very safe. Rooms, although slightly worn, were beautifully decorated with all services you would expect. The view from the balcony, which I believe is available from every room, was incredible. Subway to Manhattan a short walk or shuttle car away.

My wife and I stayed at the Ravel on 18th of June and we enjoyed our holiday very much, the hotel is lovely and the staff are very friendly and helpful. The rooms are very clean and are furnished to a high standard. The hotel facilities are excellent and the check in process was very efficient. Room service was always on time and the menu selection was great.Breakfast was good and simple but dinner was excellent. Subway system from the hotel was so easy to get to and the shuttle service they offered was helpful as well when we didnt want to walk. The music up at their rooftop was very entertaining and we definitely enjoyed ourselves. Hopefully next year we will have some time off to revisit Ravel.

Room Tip: King penthouse has a beautiful view and its very modern/spacious.

Ask Travis B about Ravel Hotel

This review is the subjective opinion of a TripAdvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.

The staff was great. They were Courteous, Helpful, and very kind overall.

The rooms were very spacious, modern and clean. The walls could be repainted, bathrooms were a little dirty in the corners which looked pretty unattractive in a room that looks so clean and modern.

The Bar on the roof was horrible. $8 draft beers, the bartenders were rude, uninterested in not only us, but even other guests/patrons. Last call was 11pm? So much for a few birthday drinks at midnight.....

We were on the 4th floor. The hotel is directly next to the Queensboro Bridge, which is AWFULLY NOISEY. Jackhammers were constantly going, through the entire night,plus the road noise from all the cars. This was extremely annoying, I'd recommend bringing earplugs.

The view of Manhattan over the East River WOULD be awesome except for the 2 ugly smokestacks across the st from the Ravel Hotel are directly obstructing the view of the skyline. The view was the biggest perk of staying at this hotel...and it was mediocre at best.

Room Tip: request a room with a view of manhattan, highest up as possible, and most importantly...as far away...

Booked this hotel based on pricing and location, and it was great. They had a shuttle to take and pick you up from queensborough station, and could get to the city within minutes. The room was very clean, and a bit cool, with sliding glass doors for the bathroom. We took Amtrak to get to NY, and the driver was awesome to get us back to Penn Station in time to catch our departing train. I would definitely go back there.

Room Tip: Get a room facing the river so you can see the Manhattan skyline

We got a nice, clean, and spacious room with a nice view on Manhattan. The service was good. Within 15 minutes you are by metro downtown Manhatten. There were some parties at the rooftop, but we did not experience any noise nuisance.

This review is the subjective opinion of a TripAdvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.

My family and I stayed here for a night to attend a function at their Penthouse808 restaurant and enjoyed our brief but comfortable stay. The staff was very courteous, from the restaurant staff to the front desk and valet.

The room itself was spacious (a big plus in New York city), designed with a modern feel, with comfortable beds and a large bathroom. Parking was free, although they have only about 20-plus spots available.

The hotel serves a great breakfast buffet as well, with the usual fare - bacon, sausages, scrambled eggs, fresh juices, coffee, cereal and pastries, and omelettes made to order.

Being in Long Island City Queens, the hotel was also a short drive from Manhattan (via the 59th street bridge) and Logan airport. They have a shuttle van that can drop you off at the subway station that is also available for airport transfers.

If ever we find ourselves back in the Big Apple, we'll definitely try to stay at the Ravel Hotel again.

Room Tip: If you're sensitive to noise, request for a room 2 floors below the penthouse, as Penthouse808 p...
